Question

How many moles of hydrogen are in 3.0 moles of C₆H₁₂O₆?

a) 60 moles
b) 50 moles
c) 18 moles
d) 36 moles

Answer 1

In 3.0 moles of glucose (C6H12O6), there are 36 moles of hydrogen, since each mole of glucose contains 12 moles of hydrogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the number of moles of hydrogen present in 3.0 moles of glucose (C6H12O6). In one molecule of glucose, there are 12 hydrogen atoms. Therefore, since the number of moles of hydrogen would be equal to the number of hydrogen atoms present in the molecules of glucose, you would multiply the number of moles of glucose by the number of hydrogen atoms per molecule of glucose.

To find the answer, perform the following calculation:

• 3.0 moles of C6H12O6 multiplied by 12 moles of H (since there are 12 hydrogen atoms in one mole of glucose) equals 36 moles of H.

Therefore, the correct answer is 36 moles of hydrogen.
